Agenda:

• TRT Rotation :
  • Chet Harum was a guest who showed up to the meeting so we had him draw the names for our TRT Rotation schedule that will open up 1/3 of the TRT positions each year in the district.
  • When a TRT position opens either by rotation/retirement/resignation any certified person from the building may apply for the position online using our Human Resources website.

• The data provided will only tell us how many teachers are at what tier.
• I will be working with the PSESD to get the data out for the district in a better and more detailed way.
• Staff will take one or more of the surveys on the pilot site according to the following guidelines:
